Karan has a unique and special bond with the United Kingdom; many of his renowned films, including as ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ and ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, were shot there. Furthermore, in 2012, he was named a Visit Britain Goodwill Ambassador for a special effort to promote and welcome visitors to visit and discover the country. His blockbusters ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ and ‘My Name Is Khan’ smashed records at the UK Box Office as the highest-grossing Indian movie.

Currently, Karan and his crew are preparing to release ‘Rocky Aur Rani…’, a new-age romantic drama starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, and Jaya Bachchan. The film is set to be released in theatres on July 28.
